Lorne Cook and Jill Lawless Associated Press Published 7:43 AM EST Dec 10, 2018 Brussels – The British government’s Brexit plans were thrown into chaos on Monday, with Prime Minister Theresa May making an emergency statement to lawmakers amid signs she would postpone a Parliamentary vote that will decide the fate of her divorce deal with the European Union. The House of Commons Speaker’s office said May would make the previously unscheduled statement at about 10:30 a.m. EST. The announcement came as May held talks with her Cabinet about the next steps in the Brexit process. Lawmakers are due to vote Tuesday on the Brexit deal, and all signs have pointed to a big defeat for the prime minister – a result that could sink May’s deal, her leadership, or both. May’s office insisted Monday morning that the vote would definitely be held, but the BBC and other outlets reported it would be postponed. An updated House of Commons business … [Read more...] about Reports: UK’s May, facing defeat, to postpone Brexit vote

UK car production for the domestic market has fallen a massive 47 per cent in a year due to a ‘perfect storm’ of events rocking the industry. “This is massive by any terms,” said Mike Hawes from the motor trade body the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders). “We are surprised at the severity” of the fall. But he says this issue is just a ‘blip’, and the biggest issues facing the industry remains Brexit and the threat of a tariff-driven trade war. The 47-per-cent drop, he explains, is mostly down to bottlenecks in the new tougher WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) emissions test. And he expects the figure to bounce back after September. Overall, UK manufacturing is down 3.3 per cent in the first half of 2018, to 834,402 vehicles.

Overall, UK car production fell by just 5.5 per cent in June, with the export market growing six … [Read more...] about UK car production slashed by HALF in one year due to a string of unfortunate events

Unkempt, overgrown and full of weeds. If all residents and business owners removed the weeds from their gardens and adjacent areas and considered cutting the verge outside their property things wouldn’t look so unkempt.
